The Server Page

When the Configure
Server screen appears,
enter the Wireless
PrintServer name
(SC0222CC is the
example shown in
Figure 6-3). Then enter
your password (if you
created one) into the
Device Password field
and type it again in the
Verify Password field
to confirm it. Check all
boxes that apply to your
network next to the
Enable area under Protocols. Generally, AppleTalk is only for Macintosh net-
works. If you are unsure, however, you may check all boxes. This option, while
giving you the greatest chance of connection, increases network traffic. Once
you've made all your choices, click the Save button. Then click the Reset button
to apply your changes.

ers by clicking the
Print Test Page
button correspon-
ding to the printer
